I have a new Bilt Bluetooth helmet and it works fine with my I-phone, but with all the road noise and the helmet, I have trouble hearing any quality music on my Harmin Karden Stereo via the speakers in the Fairing. Especially at higher freeway speeds. I have looked around and can find a ton of blue tooth stuff to connect to the stereo, but how can I hear the Stereo in my head sets, so that I can actually hear good, clear music while riding? What I want is to be able to hear my bikes radio in my helmet via my helmets bluetooth. Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Does your fairing stereo have an aux speaker output?
If so I recommend the Avantree BTTC-200.
It is a bluetooth transmitter or reciever.
I have one connected as a receiver to my Harley Boom Audio system so that my iPhone can connect via Bluetooth.
You would use it as a transmitter to connect to your helmet headset.
That looks like it is more for a home stereo system, but I can see how it might work. I do have the audio out jack. How often does it need to be charged? I was hoping to find something that ran off the bikes power and could be installed under the fairing, but this might be a down and dirty way to do it.
I have mine in my tour pak with the stereo wiring connected under my seat and tank then connected to the Boom Audio system at the handlebars.
I have a usb charger also in my tour pak that is connected to my battery tender cable.
According to Avantree once fully charged the unit will not draw any more power.
I found as a receiver if power is connected I get feedback but as a transmitter you may find it doesn't do that.
As for run time, I've ran it as much as 3 hours and have not had it run out of power.
I think for what you want to do a bluetooth transmitter is going to be your only option.
